Presentation titlePage 9 ► Companies and individuals should act now to examine potential scenarios, weigh the complexities and potential tax impact of those options, and plan accordingly ► Timing of compensation ► Accelerating deferred compensation ► Timing of itemized deductions ► Acceleration of anticipated capital gains and deferral of losses ► Alternative Minimum Tax ► Accruals and hypothetical tax calculations may also change Planning opportunities – US taxpayers
